UN-SPIDER is being implemented as an open network of providers of space-based solutions to support disaster management activities. Besides Vienna (where UNOOSA is located), the programme also has an office in Bonn, Germany and in Beijing, China.

The aim of this step-by-step procedure is the generation of a flood extent map for the assessment of affected areas. The flood extent is created using a change detection approach on Sentinel-1 (SAR) data. To assess the number of potentially exposed …

Globally freely available DEMs (SRTM, ALOS World3D and ASTER) and locally available high resolution can be used for the terrain representation in flood model. In this practice, the 12m WorldDEM DSM provided by Airbus Space and Defense through UN-SPIDER Bonn Office (Figure-2) was used to model topography. Figure 2: 12m WorldDEM DSM. 2.2.
